That's another great thing about these teams. Not only do you make friends on your own team, but with people on the other teams as well. (Whatever you do though, don't feel bad because we are picking on Debbie, she can dish it out as good as she can take it!)

We love you Debbie!!

It is true, though, being on a team has really brought me out of my shell. I found a sense of humor I didn't even know I had, and having a sense of humor is very vital to getting along weel in the weight loss journey. And the friends I have made I would'nt trade for anything!

I'm looking to join a team as well. I have looked at each of the teams and I'm not really sure where to go from there. I'm 33, need to lose about 20 lbs, I have 2 little ones, I'm on summer break, and I love to drink beer on summer evenings and eat chocolate once a day. Anyone have any suggestions? I just want to establish healthy living and get in shape. Maybe not in my high-school shape, but in healthy shape nonetheless.

Have you checked out each of the teams forums? Each team has their own personality and way of doing things. Pick the one that you think you would be the most comfortable and see if they have any openings. I am noticing that some teams have more than one forum now, so check them all out and that may help you decide.

How do you join a team, meaning, who do you contact via the forums?

You can do it a couple of ways. If you just post in that teams forum the team leader will see it or a team member will tell you who to contact. You can post here and one of us can lead you in the right direction, or if you know who the team leader is, you can send them an email.

You can also watch for the new member blogs, too.
